PEPE This rebound looks pretty lively. The active buy orders account for 57.6%, and the open interest rose another 3% in a day. But when the price pushed up to 0.0040, it turned around and fell back. It has now returned to 0.003909—still 9% below the 3-day high of 0.004315, and 14% below the one-week peak of 0.00456.
The contradiction lies in the order book and the “whales.” In the spot market’s top 20 bid levels, the buy-side depth is only 0.65 times the sell-side depth—meaning the more people buy, the thinner it gets. What’s even more glaring is the whales: while the long-side share on whale accounts increased by 6.45% over seven hours, if you calculate by nominal position size, the long-side share actually shrank by 3.89%. The number of accounts is piling up, but real capital is withdrawing. They’re propping up the scene with numbers while using positions to distribute—this flavor is very familiar.
The fee rate is also stuck at 0.01%, so adding to longs hardly costs anything. Real money won’t be able to grab cheaply like this. This round looks more like tentative bargain-hunting rather than the start of a major uptrend.
So at this level, I’m looking to go short. A rebound up to 0.0039–0.0040 is the shorting zone. Below, first watch the 1-day low at 0.0036476; if that breaks, then look toward the 7-day low around 0.00287. Reversal conditions: volume expands and price holds back above 0.004315; the spot order book flips so bid volume pressures sell volume; and the whales’ long-side nominal position share turns around and heads upward. If at least two of the three are met, the short thesis is invalidated.
